Firebombs are decent against solo sloops too. They won't sink from it like a galley might, but the "inconvenience" is exponentially worse for a solo than a duo

[@bobbywhat3269]

I drive people insane with firebombs when soloing :D

[@RealTalk681]

The fights are usually shorter thus every angle you have at them you shouldn't really waste for fire bombs unless you run out of blunders

[@staggersonjagzsot]

@@RealTalk681 You can throw them when they're close and you don't have angle, or when you miss a board, or shoot one or two after you've already demasted and filled them with holes.

[@roosterblock3182]

Having meat on hand and already consumed should have been a key point made. Another great point I didn't hear was putting a row boat with cannon facing left side could also tip the scales in a 2v2 sloop fight.

[@elitetrooper119]

That it can. I discovered this as a solo sloop one day in a fight with skeleton ships and then later another player sloop. I was able to use main cannon then run back and use row boat cannon to put twice the amount of normal shots on him than he could me from an angle he couldn’t return fire from. My buddies and I all prioritize cannon rowboats now. On any ship they give you a little extra versatility. Brigs and Sloops mostly, but Galleons can use it if one of the main cannoneers runs back there when the regular cannons have no shot

Only if you truly understand cannonball trajectory. A trained eye will not only be able to tell where the cannonball they shoot will hit, but also where the enemy’s cannonball will hit a few seconds shortly after the cannonball leaves the barrel.

[@mrgaminduck5544]

I think how the blunder bombs work is dependent on the ships position in a map compared to the sea dog tavern of all things. Depending on where you shoot it will turn them away from the tavern or towards them.

[@NorgeSquad]

Thank you KaiBond for this toturial

[@TitaniumSnajper]

Amazing video, I would only correct this one little thing: main cannon shooting ONLY top decks is not always the best strategy. Better would be saying that main cannon should be the only one allowed to shoot top decks with cannonballs on purpose and rest of the crew should focus lowers. Also on smaller ships MC should stay on ship and try supporting boarder with cannons (Im talking like shooting ladders when boarder is climbing and stuff like that) even if MC is better at tdm, because well aimed cannons can be a missing ingredient to win 1v3 on enemy ship You probably already know this so im contributing nothing and sorry for taking your time

[@kaijoi8938]

That would’ve been a better way to word it, I agree. And for sending boarders, yes I agree. That’s why in the video I said: **When I’m on a galleon my motto is to send at least 2 boarders or send none at all** Correct. On brig you usually wanna have MC stay on the boat in order to 1ball the ladder guarder. But I’m glad you said this. I’d rather people be vocal about what they disagree with about my videos, as this allows me an opportunity to see what I could be doing better / what I’m doing wrong. I’ve always disliked when streamers or people in general live in their own bubble. So these streamers are being told all day long: **Oh you’re the best player and I look up to you** and when they sink their chat is like: **Those guys are probably just streaming sniping or cheating, it’s not your fault you lost. Those guys are just sweats with no lives** Cause then this inflates the streamers ego and they think they’re the best because they’re surrounded by people that say they’re the best

[@carbide4458]

Solid advice, however I'm not gonna grill people for running over a grate on the top deck. That's very petty even by sweat standards.

[@kaijoi8938]

In most fights it probably won’t matter. However when you play on competitive leagues like Legacy Brawl Hub, League of Thieves, or even when you fight NAL teams in adventure, running over grate is the difference between winning and sinking.

[@carbide4458]

@KaiJoi Even still, I just cannot imagine getting upset at that personally. I also don't see myself participating in league fights, as the game's structure makes doing so very inefficient.

[@kaijoi8938]

[@ItzMino_]

imo some good tips in here, also a few bad takes but overall decent video 👍

[@kaijoi8938]

Absolutely 100% correct. That's why at 21:36 I reiterated that this isn't the end all be all of Main Cannon. ---- And most of these tips are most definitely geared towards new PvPers and hourglass enjoyers who wanna get better at the cannons. I could put in A LOT more indepth things, as well as remove some fluff that's in here if I was trying to teach top tier players how to get better. However the problem is when you're teaching top tier players who already know everything, the only way you can "teach" them is by looking at their VOD and looking at the *micro* details and movements they do. Some of the things that were wrong was at 11:28 where I said to *ALWAYS TAKE A CURT* --- Obviously there will be times you don't do this. Like if the water isn't a full scoop And at 7:31 when I say: *YOUR JOB IS TO HIT TOPS AND ONLY TOPS* --- Clearly this isn't always the case, however since the general audience of the video is not the top 0.1% of players, this advice will be WAY MORE beneficial than giving this micro tips and adjustments that really only apply to the top levels of play. But I agree with you. There are some bad takes, however I view those bad takes as a better alternative to the general population rather than just giving these teeny tiny nuance tips that are only useful in VERY SPECIFIC SITUATIONS. I prefer to make broad videos that work for most situations, rather than a specific tactic geared towards only one scenario.

Hey, I have a question regarding the first video in this series which I just watched before starting this one now. Why does shooting a Blunderbomb at the front of an enemy ship cause them to nose TOWARDS you? Shouldn't shooting a Blunderbomb at their front cause the front to be kncoked away from you?

[@kaijoi8938]

Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t.

[@ardynizunia9709]

@@kaijoi8938 But what I'm asking is the real life logic. Like, shouldn't it just knock them away? Since it's a bomb, it should knock stuff away, it's not a singularity, so it shouldnt attract. Ofc you didn't make the game, I don't expect you to have all the answers, I am just so confused that shooting the FRONT is the tactic used to make them nose you, when realistically, whatever part you shoot should always be the part knocked AWAY from you. Either way, amazing video mate, can't wait for the other 2. I don't play at your level, but me and my buddies do play quite seriously and always appreciate any pointers ^^

@@ardynizunia9709 I’m being 100 percent serious, the arena tavern is (pretty much) the direct center of the map.

Every NaL sweat knew this back in the day, they just were gate keeping it because they wanted to stay on top. Pussy move honestly. I don’t know if there’s any video proof out there.

Is there any reason to use the harpoon? Like on sloop at least?

[@kaijoi8938]

100% you use harpoon ESPECIALLY ON SLOOP. If you’re nosing somebody and they’re shooting you, just harpoon them I’m onto your ship and 1 blunder them. And this can work with every ship, but the sloop is really powerful because the opposing crew only has 1 cannon to shoot you with, so it’s kinda difficult to knock you off the harpoon in certain situations.
